3 games in 1997 when there were no current Ulster players selected but the squads contained several Ulster born players contracted to English clubs.jean valjean wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 10:00 am Rumours of no ulster players featuring in the ireland 23 for the game against France. No real surprise but a damning indictment of our positon and fall from grace this season. Anyone know when this last occurred?
It's the first time an Ireland squad has contained no current Ulster or Ulster born players. A new low.

Re: 6 Nations 2024
Another reason to disengage from Ireland. However, as Dave says, justified with only Hendo arguable. Shocking. Farrell out

Wonder what the reasoning is for adding soldiers song now? Always knew it was BS about them using it only when the Irish president was in attendance.

I fancy England for 2nd with a punchers chance of winning it TB. Good luck to ye- for all the oul balls talked, you still got to the semis despite being "crap". You'll be better this time round.
